本研究以207名华裔美国人为被试，考察了族群认同作为一种动态结构的概念化，并以不同方式表达为关系语境的函数。关系的差异使得个人在与亚洲同龄人在一起时表达最多的种族认同，其次是父母，然后是高加索同龄人。因素分析支持同一种族和不同种族背景下的差异。为了说明关系方法的效用，我们开发了特定于关系的模型，将关系民族认同作为民族支持、关系调整结果和关系质量之间的中介变量。在不同的关系中，直接路径和中介路径的强度和重要性存在差异。讨论强调了关系框架在种族认同和相关结构研究中的优势。
The conceptualization of ethnic identity as a dynamic construct differentially expressed as a function of relational context was examined in 207 Chinese Americans. Relational differentiations were made such that individuals expressed their ethnic identity most when with Asian peers, followed by parents, then Caucasian peers. Factor analysis supported differentiations across same-ethnic and different-ethnic contexts. To illustrate the utility of a relational approach, relationship-specific models were developed with relational ethnic identity implicated as a mediator between ethnic support and outcomes of relational adjustment and relationship quality. Across relationships, differences in the strength and significance of direct and mediational paths were found. Discussion emphasizes strengths of a relational framework in the study of ethnic identity and related constructs.
